Global Warming:
Repeat after me:
Man-made Global WarmingTM is a MYTH!

Uh, nobody said anything about man-made global warming, TChris. Thanks for the links, though.

Wow! I'm glad that's cleared up. I thought it was excessive emissions from Fred Flintstone's vehicle and dinosaur flatulence.

Finding evidence of green bacteria would prove nothing. We are in the middle of an ice age. We are in the warming cycle of that ice age.
I think they'll be looking for evidence of green bacteria dating to the time of the Permian extinction, right?

Fred's vehicle was Fred-powered, wasn't it?
BTW, does the Flintstone's original theme song get played on T.V. anymore?

Might change the weather, but won't deposit lethal amounts of sulfides (which needs to be lethal to practically everything) over the entire earth. It is a hack tower not just a hack, because he needs to go from altered weather through ocean current effects to deep ocean biopshere effects to atmosphere to land biosphere - a pinball wizard's perfect ricochet. Nothing remotely that involved is likely to be necessary to get a big extinction. Big extinctions happen regularly, and for all we know may be largely endogeneous (if relatively rare, compared to smaller scale ones) to ecosystems in general.

One of the greatest episodes of volcanism in earth history, it flooded over a million square miles of India and surrounding areas with layer upon layer of basaltic lava flows, one over the other,
forming a lava pile that today, after 65 million years of erosion, is still about one and one-half miles thick in western India, near Bombay. Wow!!!
Thanks for the link
